When To Get 2003 Audi A8 Quattro Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2003 Audi A8 Quattro, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your A8 Quattro jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2003 Audi A8 Quattro in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Audi A8 Quattro suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Audi A8 Quattro Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2003 Audi A8 Quattro’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2003 Audi A8 Quattro’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Audi A8 Quattro shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2003 Audi A8 Quattro’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2003 A8 Quattro Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my A8 Quattro's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Audi A8 Quattro? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Audi A8 Quattro power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your A8 Quattro’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Audi's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Audi A8 Quattro bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your A8 Quattro goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my A8 Quattro front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Audi A8 Quattro are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your A8 Quattro feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your A8 Quattro travels over minor bumps.
